Charleson, Donald Brims

 

The Charleson family and their descendants lived here until the late 1940s. Later, the house became a rooming house and a rest home.

In 1969, a developer bought the property and demolished the house to make room for a new apartment building.

The new building was called “Lost Lagoon Terrace,” and the apartments went on sale on September 6, 1970.
